Release #1 - The Wretched - Book 1: Kickstarter Preview

In the war-torn, infected land of Rhomheim, humanity is hunted by grotesque experiments of a mad scientist made of animal and machine called amalgams. Among the horrors are four young amalgams who, despite being as playful as they are cruel, must kidnap humans at their master's behest for his work, or suffer a crueler fate against the humans who hate them. But in a world of hatred and cruelty, is there room for even monsters to grow? For when one of them named Malik wishes to be more than a minion, will that path lead him towards the fulfillment he always longed for? Or will it drag him deeper into an abyss where he’ll face an even greater horror: Being human.

Preview of a full 70-page Issue #1: Near the outskirts of a large, infected forest in Rhomheim, a small Hamlet becomes the latest target of our main characters, experiments from a mad scientist called “amalgams” (creatures made of animal, human, and machine), to kidnap humans for their master. But within our group, one amalgam named Malik has a separate goal in mind to prove he can be more than just a minion, so long he makes it through the upcoming task where humans have a plan of their own. Will Malik have a chance to find greater meaning for himself? What desperate plan will the humans attempt? And what role will this mysterious, disturbing girl in the Hamlet named Nina, have to play?
